After sharing her video of consuming a raw garlic clove on an empty stomach in the morning, Soha Ali Khan shared yet another trend she experimented with recently: drinking coffee mixed with ghee, which is considered a superfood by many health enthusiasts and celebrities.

She wrote, “I know, I know ... I'm late to the bulletproof coffee party ... honestly it’s a miracle I showed up at all! So not every trend is meant for you. Before you put ghee in your coffee (maybe before you have coffee at all for some) look up the pros and cons and then listen to your body…”

In the video, Soha admitted that she was initially hesitant about consuming ghee for health. However, she came to realise some of its benefits, including its healthy fats, through Malaika Arora and popular nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, who were on her podcast recently. Both claimed it to be a ‘superfood.’

Soha shared, “So I am going to try a teaspoon of ghee in my coffee, not because it's trendy, but because I want to try it. I think it might be good for me.”

Health benefits of ghee coffee

Ghee coffee is said to offer many health benefits. While ghee, known as clarified butter, contains antioxidants and healthy fats, coffee is also considered beneficial for its antioxidants and energy-boosting properties. When combined, it can help improve the immune system, support digestion and weight loss, and enhance brain function, among other benefits.

Who should avoid ghee coffee?

Soha warned, “I'm told it's not for everyone, especially if you have sensitive stomachs or acid reflux, it can trigger acidity. And I do want to underline, it is not a magic detox drink and the benefits will really depend on your whole diet. Listen to your body and don't listen to trends and then decide.”
